a blog for the dolls

Archive for December, 2012

I skipped Throwback Thursday this week because of Christmas, so I really didn’t wanna skip Maplelea Monday too. So the dollies got dressed and went outside! They had to do some mixing and matching to put their winter looks together:

Saila is wearing the outfit she came in (short sleeves work just fine for her–Washington is a tropical paradise compared to Nunavut) and her Pang Hat, which is quite possibly my favorite piece of dolly clothing (handmade by Inuit in the Nunavut territory!)

Jenna is wearing Saila’s Apati parka and the snow pants from the new Maple Cabin set and rainboots from Saila’s clam digger outfit.

Alexi is wearing the grey cords from Saila’s clam digger outfit and the rest of the stuff from the Maple Cabin set.

This is my last post of what I got for Christmas. This one is a Christmas gift to myself. I was browsing through Tonner dolls (beautiful, but expensive), and I found this sweetheart. Every time I go to Disneyland I stop in the Small World toy shop looking for a gift to commemorate my favorite ride, and never find anything. Finally, here is something.

I had a very nice Christmas. My mommy made me 2 dolly dresses using patterns from Carpatina. You’ll have to wait until I get home for my girls to model them. My sister brought me a puppet from Austria. Handmade in Czech Republic. Here she is:

I posted 3 photos: the concert one, the one of Taryn and the sled, and a picture of the lego friends with a lego Christmas tree. 5 winners were chosen: 2 for merit and 3 at random, so winning doesn’t even mean my photo was good, but I had a lot of good comments. In fact, all 5 winners had really cute photos.

I have recently decided to dedicate this blog to my dolls. Maybe I think they need to make more friends on the internet. I currently collect American Girl, Maplelea, A Girl for All Time, and Carpatina. I have others too...I look forward to you meeting all of my dolls. Have a nice day.
